The leader of the Roman Catholic
Church, who has made waves of
connections reaching out to disaffected
Catholics and insisting on making the
poor a top priority, hasn't watched TV
since July 15, 1990, he revealed in an
interview published in the Argentinian
newspaper La Voz del Pueblo.
The pontiff did not reveal why he gave
up watching TV, except to say he
decided it wasn't for him, before
promising the Virgin Mary he wouldn't
watch again.
That promise has kept him from
watching his favorite soccer team,
Buenos Aires-based San Lorenzo, but he
told the paper a member of his Swiss
Guard tells him the scores and keeps
him up to date on the standings.
Pope Francis said he really misses the
tranquility of just walking the streets.
The Pope concluded that he would like
to be remembered as a "good guy" who
tried to do good".
